About this map

Lobo serves as the primary focal point in this Trans-Pecos landscape, situated along the corridor of Lobo Rd and the Southern Pacific rail line. The terrain is characterized by the expansive drainage of Wild Horse Creek, which flows northward through the basin between distant mountain ranges. To the west, the elevation rises toward High Lonesome Peak, a prominent landmark that overlooks the valley floor.

The infrastructure here is defined by cattle ranching and transportation, evidenced by the High Lonesome Windmill and a series of numbered spurs, including Lobo Spur 1 and Lobo Spur 2, branching off Ranch Road 1523. These roads and spurs represent the critical access points for the remote ranching operations that have long sustained this arid portion of Culberson County. The grid-like patterns of local roads like Chispa Rd suggest a history of surveyed land tracts typical of the Texas high desert.
